Hi
Bushman:
Looks like our plans are coming to fruition, we would like to meet you at Pension Ara in Alba Lulia on 23rd if that's ok - do we need to book?
Bonniebird:
Thanks for the link - did you have any luck with extending your insurance or will you buy on the border?
What is your estimated time of travel back through the Balkans as far as say Austria/Italy?
Many thanks

Hi , i tried to book higher up on the Transalpina , but because it will be a weekend they are all booked up or just had one room left ,so that was the closest place available with rooms required . http://www.booking.com/hotel/ro/pensiun ... 1#tab-main . If that one is now full there are others close by so just do a search of the area and find what you can .

So my advice is yes get booked asap.

i would also suggest to get booked the next nights hotel http://www.lapensiuni.ro/en/rural-accom ... index.html

I shall send you a PM with my contact number

Hi gspod,
I will probably be buying at the borders, seems cheaper that way......but my insurance does run out before I get to those countries so if Carole Nash will do me a decent price green card when I renew I'll go that way.
We are planning about 11 days to Austrian border, hoping to do a far bit on easy trails as well........Wikiloc is my new friend B) (thumbs)

Hi
Bushman: Booked the last double at Ara - so no turning back now.

Bonniebird: Thanks for the info and swift reply - we have around a week to get back up to Austria/Italy and it may be nice to go via the coast, so we shall consider our options.

Many thanks once again.

Hi Paul
Be a pleasure to have you along , plenty of room , if you have been to Romania there are no real specifics , just make sure you have all your original documents , in case either the border control or police request them. We shall be a bit late leaving Eindhoven on the 19th (Tuesday)as we shall be waiting for Nige and Nico to meet up with us, so you should easily catch us or overtake us to the hotel at Sangerhausen , i shall send you a Pm with my contact details later this evening. Hope to see you
